Performance & Formulation Insights for Chromatique Luster Black

The Science of a Sophisticated Satin Black

Chromatique Luster Black achieves its deep, lustrous color through a precise coating of Titanium Dioxide and Iron Oxides (Fe3O4) onto a natural mica substrate. The controlled 10-60 µm particle size is engineered to create a smooth, continuous pearlescent effect, deliberately avoiding high sparkle. This results in a classic satin finish that provides dimension and richness, elevating products beyond a simple matte black.

Technical Formulation Advantages

The fine particle distribution and inherent stability of Chromatique Luster Black make it a versatile tool for formulators. It disperses readily in oils, esters, and silicones, making it suitable for both anhydrous and emulsion-based systems.

Its fine texture ensures a non-gritty, homogenous final product, which is critical for comfortable wear in eye and lip applications.
